A Moment of Silence

For today, the only entry I wish to make here is my extreme sorrow for Paul Johnson, and my sympathy and prayer for his family.

Following some blog links I came upon some commentary on Suicide Bombers over at ‘General Theory of Rubbish’. It was quoted from the ‘Muslim World Today’, and makes some salient points:
